I got a Kitchenaid mixer as an early wedding present and have been trying to spend some time every weekend baking if I can. I have attempted macarons most weekends, and after another failed attempt yesterday I decided to try my hand at a cake instead. The filling is a mixed berry ganache which I had originally planned for the macarons. The cake is the vanilla birthday cake recipe from the back of the King Arthur cake flour box, and the frosting is a vanilla bean Swiss meringue buttercream. Words on top are from a song that has been stuck in my head all day. Shout out to anyone who recognizes it.

    Looks scrumptious. Good job. I can relate with the words way too. 🫠 Way too much.

    Mmm I love depression-core cakes. Also the decoration and the shape of this is awesome

  4. Although I can’t see it, the ganache sounds delicious! What berries did you use? I’m thinking of making scones soon and want to make a mixed berry filling I think.

    That’s beautiful. How did you get the top frosting so smooth? Excellent piping.
